I know at the 8 week scan she had to press on a lot because the baby was so small she had to, to be able to see it... but my scan yesterday hurt so much, i feel all bruised inside to the point where it burns and hurts when the baby moves and if I stand or sit or disturb my tum

Is it normal to be so sore?

im not too sure hu but when i went to one mw appointment with lauren the midwife was measuring my belly and poking me and i was aching all over my bump was so sore

I dont remember any pain during or after any of my scans-and i'v had a few over the years! Ask your midwife hun as I haven't heard of many people experience pain after. Best to get advice from a health professional with any pain in pregnancy. Hope all is well x x

she did push on a lot... I hurt a bit when my midwife did the heartbeat at 17 weeks which is making me think I am just a big softy, but that didn't hurt like this

Are the ones that experienced pain slim build? I'm asking as I have 'padding' lol so maybe made a difference? If there's less fat maybe you would be more prone to tissue damage from excessive 'probing' from a scan/examination? Just a thought!

ooo no I have forgotten the meaning of the word slim... my padding has padding!! which made me think she might of jabbed in more to "get through" but the 8 week woman didn't jab as hard and I felt no discomfort after that one

Well there goes my theory...! Lol
Yea best to call midwife, just to put your mind @ rest in the mean time take a couple paracetamol to ease the pain x

I remember my tummy being quite sore immediatly afterwards as we did want to find out the sex so she did alot of rummaging! (we never did get to find out anyway!!) i wasn't in pain for long after though. If i were you just give your midwife a ding to get some reasureance

When I had my 20 week scan with Lauren my tummy did feel really sore afterwards from where they had poked and prodded my tummy trying to get a proper look at Lauren, but it was alright the following day.
If you're feeling really sore, just give your midwife a ring hun.
